Golden Shoreline Run
Girls running in the surf on the beach at Shoreline Park. I particularly like the gold water splashing up by their feet. They looked like two sisters enjoying the beach together. They stopped long enough to take in the sunset for a moment, then they were off again splashing in the breaking waves around their feet.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas!!
This is a beautiful little shopping center in Carmel, called The Barnyard.
After dinner at our favorite restaurant in Carmel we
spent the evening wandering around and checking out Christmas lights.
On the right is a great place called Succulent Gardens. If you can't
tell from the Epi photos on the site, a place like that is a real magnet for me.
In fact a few of our Epis even came from there. On the left is a great little candy shop.
(Try the grasshopper bark and the caramel cashew turtles if you stop there!)
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

Tentacles in the Sand
This is one of the first shots with my underwater housing for
my camera. I've had it for a while and have not had a chance to
use it. The extremely low tides this week were a good opportunity
to go wading through the tidal pools taking pictures. 'Course, the water
was so shallow they were all extreme close ups, but that's just fine with me.
These guys are really
beautiful, they are related to jelly fish, but they stay on
the bottom, usually anchored to a rock under the sand.
The pretty colors come from a symbiotic algae living in
their translucent tissues.

Streams in the Sand
Been trying to get more exercise. The best place to do that
is the beach of course. (I feel like we are wasting the beautiful
place we live when we don't spend enough time on the beach.)
This week has been particularly fun because the low tides have
been extremely low and at a good time in the afternoon to get
there after the heat and for the good evening light.
I'm starting to experiment with an underwater housing for my camera
and I'll get some of the shots from that online in the next couple of
days. But there was something interesting going on that did not
require any special equipment. The tide was so low, that ground water
or just extra sea water was flowing from the sand for about four
feet up from the water line. That slow flow lined most of the beach
with these beautiful patterns.

Mission Storm
Click on the main image for a bigger version
Another attempt to get to the Nativity Scene at the mission a
couple of weeks ago, and still no animals. Probably
a good thing for them, it was raining like crazy.
But I do so hate to come home empty handed!
And, I still have not had a chance to develop
the film from this evening. This was from my
digital camera, but four feet wide just might not be big enough. :-D

Stone Fountain
I ran into this fountain while wandering through a local nursery. I was chasing hummingbirds at the time, but the fountain had some nice shadows on it so it grabbed my attention for a bit.

Happy Beach Hound
This guy was having a really good time! 'Course who wouldn't have a good time running on the beach in Santa Barbara at sunset?

Butterfly Beach Dog
If you are wondering if this dog was having a good time you can actually see his tail wag if you look at the arc of drops of water coming off of his tail.
